My White's Tree Frog died :(

[brnbear]

I did change one thing...I got a new bowl for their water. The one that I had before was too small and the water in it would evaporate within an hour so I bought a bigger one. Today the water in it had been looking rather dirty...I hadn't cleaned it since I changed the water bowl (a week ago). Maybe that was the problem...the other bowl always evaporated so I would bring it out and clean it and put fresh water in, and this one I didn't have to do the same so maybe bacteria grew in it and infected my frog. Does that seem plausible? And as far as getting another frog goes, I was probably going to go down to the pet store sometime this week and get another one and put him in my 10 gal tank and isolate him so I can watch him and make sure he is healthy for a couple of weeks. Would my current frog (about the size of my thumb when fully stretched) be able to eat a smaller frog? (say the size of my thumb from the first joint to the tip).

You should be quarantining a new one for 30 days anyways to make sure it is healthy before introducing it to the new one. Also, you should be changing the water daily to avoid problems if you don't have a filter system. I would personally do research to try to figure out what the other frog died from. If your next frog passes too, I would definitely do a total clean out of your current tank. Have you looked into fungal infections?

I looked up a list of common illnesses among whites tree frogs and I think that it was a fungal infection. If that is the case what is the next step I should take to make sure my other frog doesn't get sick, and what may I have done wrong?

I personally would take out your other frog and put it on quarantine by it's self. And tear apart your tank and trow out any thing that can not be cleaned with bleach, any wood I would soak in a bleach water solution for a few hours then bake it at 200* F for an hour or two. And clean the tank its self with the water bleach solution. And call every vet in town and elsewhere and tell them what happened to your other frog and get the one you still have looked at. Make sure you ask if they have a vet that knows about frogs. Sorry for your loss and good luck.
